Product Overview
Remington's Core-Lokt Tipped sends a 130-grain polymer-tipped bullet downrange at 3080 feet per second—the fastest .270 Winchester load in this weight class. This velocity produces 2740 foot-pounds of muzzle energy and creates exceptionally flat trajectory for hunters who want to minimize holdover calculations at typical deer hunting distances. The Core-Lokt jacket design that has anchored game for generations now combines with modern polymer-tip technology.
The 0.42 ballistic coefficient represents meaningful improvement over traditional Core-Lokt soft points. The polymer tip streamlines airflow while the boat-tail reduces base drag, combining to maintain velocity at distance better than flat-base exposed-lead designs. This aerodynamic efficiency translates to less drop and wind drift at the 250 to 400-yard distances where trajectory becomes a factor in shot placement.
Open-country hunters pursuing mule deer, pronghorn, or whitetails in agricultural settings find this load well-suited to their conditions. The combination of high velocity and polymer-tip expansion handles the longer shots these environments present. The Core-Lokt jacket construction provides controlled expansion that damages vitals effectively without the excessive fragmentation that wastes meat on close-range shots.
- Velocity of 3080 fps represents the fastest .270 Winchester 130-grain load commonly available, producing exceptionally flat trajectory for simplified shot placement at distance.
- The polymer tip improves aerodynamics while initiating consistent expansion on impact—modern technology built on the proven Core-Lokt jacket design.
- The 0.42 ballistic coefficient maintains velocity at extended range better than conventional soft points, reducing both drop and wind drift where trajectory matters.
- Core-Lokt's mechanical interlock between jacket and core prevents separation during expansion, maintaining bullet weight better than basic cup-and-core construction.
- Rapid expansion optimized for deer-sized game can limit penetration on larger animals—not ideal for elk-sized game where bullets must travel through heavy bone.
- Premium pricing compared to traditional Core-Lokt soft points, though the ballistic advantages justify the cost for hunters taking longer shots.
- Newer to the market than established alternatives, with less field history demonstrating performance across varied conditions.
